Depends: You doctor will need to discuss the causes of goiter and possible thyroid conditions that could be present. Some solutions are simple, others more complex. The space here will not allow for full discussion, but would recommend follow up soon to discuss with your doctor.

Depends: It depends on the size of the goiter and what the underlying cause is. Is it very big? Is it painful? Do you have a cough, difficulty swallowing or breathing? Goiters can be caused by iodine deficiency (not common in developed countries) or by a over-active or under-active thyroid. You should have your thyroid levels checked if you haven't already.
